> I find it quite unfair be able to make so much money for relatively low effort

I hope you hate capitalism then. It's all about supply and demand. As a gay man with some friends who escort, their rates are much lower, both for obvious reasons (it is ridiculously easy for most gay men to find other men to have sex with) and less obvious ones (IMO there is much less of a stigma among gay men for escorting, and at least friends I knew who did it expressed little shame at doing it).

It is absolutely supply and demand. I meant girl escorts when I wrote what I wrote. I find it unfair that it you're born a girl and are pretty, you have this option.

People who are born men and rich have the option of paying for those services, so what's most unfair?

[amcsi]

I don't see how the "men" part is relevant of what you are saying. The "rich" part is a good point: that's certainly more unfair.

I'm thinking that if men and women of equally poor background, women have this escort option that men don't (obviously they do, but it pays far less good on average than women).

Just that men earn more money and have more wealth than women when looking at population averages. In many cultures women are expected to marry and look after the kids while the men work, and that expectation carries over into education opportunities, parental support, hiring decisions and so on.
